Once, he was just a boy-innocent, free, and loved. But that life turned to dust the night he was taken. Vanishing into the shadows, he became a ghost, a name whispered in sorrow but never found again. Years passed, and the world moved on, believing him lost forever.
Now, he returns. No longer the helpless child who was stolen, but a man forged in suffering, bearing the scars of his past like a second skin. His hometown sees only a stranger, yet within him burns a relentless fire-a hunger for power, wealth, and the chance to reclaim what was stolen from him.
But fate is never kind. The past does not stay buried, and neither do the enemies who shaped him. As he navigates a world that has forgotten him, he will carve his own path-through blood, ambition, and the allure of a love that threatens to break the armor around his heart.
From the ashes of misery, he will rise. And this time, the world will remember his name.

Dark Lord
He was finally back. After so long, he was able to break the seal that had condemned him. After suffering for so long, he finally can get revenge. He now remembered the day the blood of his love was spilled. The day that he was killed, taken away from his arms. Now that he was back, he swore to get revenge. He was known as the Dark Lord. AN: My second book written, probably a bit confusing overall. There is definitely some mistakes in it, but I will keep it as it as. This book is over two years old but was finished about a year ago. Beware, there's definitely a bit of mistakes and editing errors that I never caught.Complete
Phantom Genesis (幻創)
Phantom Genesis (幻創) In a world where supernatural warriors are born with unique bloodline abilities, strength is dictated by one's Blood Flow (血流, Ketsuryū)-a force that determines their limits and potential. Nations are divided, tribes are extinct, and the corrupt government rules with an iron grip, hunting down those who threaten their power. Kaito Tsukihana, the last survivor of the Tsukihana Clan (月華, "Moonflower"), was born into a legacy of assassins feared for their ability to warp perception and manipulate speed. But seven years ago, his clan was massacred by the government's elite enforcers, The Sentinels. Now a cocky and reckless fighter, Kaito carves his own path as a lone assassin-until one mission changes everything. A bounty is placed on his head, setting off a relentless hunt. But the deeper he digs, the more he realizes: his assassination target wasn't what he thought. The government's corruption runs deeper than he imagined. And his past? It's not as buried as he believed. Haunted by revenge-seekers, elite bounty hunters, and enemies with grudges against his fallen clan, Kaito must fight, adapt, and evolve, unlocking deadly new transformations with every battle. Alongside Juro, a weary healer with a forgotten past, and Raika, a fierce warrior fueled by rage, Kaito is thrust into a war far bigger than himself. This isn't just about survival. This isn't just about revenge. This is about breaking the cycle of destruction. But to do that, Kaito must become stronger than ever before.

Not Your Luna (Formerly His Rogue Luna)
He grabbed me, and I felt tingles go up my arms. I started to thrash around trying to get out of his grip. As much as my wolf wanted him, I didn't and I wouldn't give in. "Let me go, dammit", I practically screamed at him. "No. You're mine", he screamed back, sending shivers down my spine as I began to relax into him. I jumped suddenly scared that if I didn't stop myself then I would never want to go. I knew what I had to do. "I, Emma St. Germain, reject you, Aiden Douglas, as my mate." I sent him a pitiful look as he fell to the floor, through the mate bond I knew he was in pain. "I'm sorry," I whispered before running as far away from him as possible. ***** She didn't want a mate, she just wanted to survive long enough to avenge her family. So when she finds out that Aiden Douglas, Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, is her mate, and he cheats on her. She rejects him and runs. He is trying to fight for her while she fights her demons. What is she supposed to do when her demons become real? ***** Disclaimer: This is not a book with a happy ending or a love story. If you want a happy ending, this book isn't for you.

Rejected Flame Wolf
Hunter Anther was like an open book, he'd never been afraid to be his true self. Especially his sexuality. However not everything is for everyone. Being born to the one of the largest pack to ever exist, he wasn't accepted. Everyone hated him and often bullied him, even his family. He'd hoped that after meeting his mate, regardless of gender he would finally find peace and happiness. But the moon goddess truly wasn't fond of him because in addition to being an outcast, he wasn't blessed with a wolf. What happens when his future Alpha, aka biggest bully and former friend turns out to be his mate. Will he accept and care for him or make him lose the last bit of hope he had? Like a saying goes 'The grass isn't always green on the other side.' *** "I didn't mean it.. I.. I was young and ignorant..." he tried to explain while clenching my hand, I looked at him in disgust and pulled my hand away. "What about me? How old wad I to deserve all the things you did to me?! Tell me, how was I different from you? Four years ago you rejected me after everything you've done to me. It wasn't enough punishment for you, you didn't even spare me a glance after ruining me. You left me, you are not gay." My voice trembled bit at the end but my face remained as emotionless as ever. I will never give him the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable, not again. But why does my heart feel like it's bleeding? Shouldn't I be hating him and happy that he's on his knees begging me. So why am I tearing along with him? **** 25/02/24 - 9/08/24 **** A/N How many of us believe in second chances? Does love really conquer it all? This is not a 'love is blind' story, if you're looking for one.Complete
